Three Ancestors of the Human Race takes Kongtong Seal back to Ancestral Land.

The so-called Ancestral Land is the land where Nuwa created man under Mount Sumeru under Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Over tens of thousands of years, this land has been infiltrated by Human Race generations of sacrifices and offerings, making it like a holy land.

Ancestral Land In the center stands an altar made of huge stones.

The soil used by Nuwa to create humans from Nine Heavens Breath Soil is enshrined on the altar.

The first piece of turtle shell used by Fuxi when teaching Bagua.

The first Sanskrit stone tablet used by Xuande when he sent his disciples to teach writing.

And the bone tools of the first batch of warriors who died when Human Race united as one to fight against Primordial Wilderness Ferocious Beasts.

Each of these four offerings represents a foundation of Human Race.

Life, wisdom, civilization, courage.

Suiren Shi carefully placed Kongtong Seal in the center of the altar, with offerings from four directions surrounding it, forming a defensive force of five.

The moment Kongtong Seal fell into the center of the altar, the nine golden dragons on Yin's body lit up at the same time, and the dragon's roar sounded again.

The dragon's roar was no longer the excitement announcing his birth, but a calm and long whisper, like a child's contented sigh after returning home.

The images of Human Race imprinted on all sides flashed on the altar one after another, and each flash made the connection between Kongtong Seal and Ancestral Land closer.

When the light finally subsided, Kongtong Seal had completely integrated into the aura of the altar, becoming one with this holy place that carries the oldest memory of Human Race.

Fuxi did not go to Shouyang Mountain.

When Kongtong Seal was born, he was sitting in Human Ancestral Land under Mount Sumeru, handling the daily affairs of Human Race.

The distribution of resources among tribes, the direction of newly opened farmland irrigation canals, and the ownership of mining rights for newly discovered mineral veins.

The quarterly trade list with the Witch Clan Houtu Tribe, the recommended quota for the new batch of Human Race monks to study at the Western Sect, everything needs to be decided by him as the person in charge.

These matters are trivial and specific, and seem particularly ordinary compared with the Great Dao supreme principles and Fortune belongings discussed by the Hunyuan great men on Shouyang Mountain.

But it is these ordinary things that constitute all of Human Race's daily life and are the real cornerstone of Human Race's transformation from ignorance to civilization.

Fuxi never feels that dealing with these matters is beneath his dignity.

The same was true for Daoist Xuande back then before Western Sect established a religion. He did everything by himself, no matter how big or small. This solidity and calmness was what he admired most about Xuande.

When Three Ancestors returned to Ancestral Land with Kongtong Seal in his hands, Fuxi was flipping through a volume of Bamboo Slips in front of the altar that recorded the number of newborns in each tribe.

He raised his head, his eyes fell on the seal in Suiren Shi's arms, and Bamboo Slips in his hand unconsciously put it down.

The aura on Kongtong Seal that had the same origin as his made Bagua Law in his body resonate involuntarily.

The eight hexagrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui appeared independently behind him, and Bagua Phantom slowly rotated around him.

Each rotation faintly echoes the Fortune fluctuations emanating from Kongtong Seal.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.

He was present when Nuwa Creates Humans happened, and the ball of Nine Heavens Breath Soil was refined into human form by Universe Cauldron in front of him.

He still remembers the scene when three hundred and sixty-five Innate Human Race walked out of the cauldron.

At that time, he felt that there was some indescribable connection between himself and this new race.

It is not the relationship between the Creator and the created things, but a more profound cause and effect.

Later, Xuande entrusted Human Race to his care, and he settled down in Ancestral Land, teaching Bagua how to tie ropes to record things, fish, hunt, and farm for tens of thousands of years.

He originally thought that this cause and effect was just due to the friendship between him and Xuande and Nuwa, but now he was standing in front of Kongtong Seal.

He finally understood the source of this cause and effect.

He is the elder brother of Nuwa and the blood relative of Holy Mother of the Human Race.

Human Race was born because of Nuwa, and he became attached to Human Race because of Nuwa.

This deep fate has long gone beyond the scope of "entrusted care", but has truly integrated into the blood of Human Race and Fortune.

"Three Ancestors, can this seal be viewed by a poor person?"

Fuxi's voice was still calm and peaceful as usual, but Suiren Shi could hear an unusual solemnity in his tone.

Suiren Shi held Kongtong Seal in front of Fuxi with both hands.

Fuxi did not reach out to pick it up, but just sat cross-legged in front of the altar, his eyes falling on Kongtong Seal.

Bagua Phantom slowly rotated behind him, resonating with the fluctuations of Fortune on Kongtong Seal with each breath.

He didn't deliberately deduce anything or comprehend anything, he just sat there quietly.

Let the breath of Kongtong Seal flow naturally into his perception, and let the way of Bagua and the way of Fortune blend silently in his Sea of Consciousness.

Three Ancestors did not disturb Fuxi's understanding.

They quietly retreated to the outer circle of the altar and began to arrange Ancestral Land's daily affairs.

But every time I pass the altar, I can't help but step lightly, for fear of disturbing the Bagua Patriarch who has been guarding Human Race for tens of thousands of years.

This sitting lasted for several days.

Fuxi was motionless in front of Kongtong Seal, and Bagua Phantom was spinning slower and slower behind him, until it was almost stationary.

But the light of each hexagram Bagua is getting brighter and brighter.

Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is the thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is the water, Li is the fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is the river.

Each of the eight hexagrams represents a basic law between heaven and earth. At this moment, under the guidance of Kongtong Seal and Fortune, countless new hexagrams and yarn combinations are beginning to be derived from Bagua.

There are sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines. Each hexagram and each line corresponds to a certain situation, a certain decision, and a certain period of rise and fall in the development process of Human Race.

He saw Human Race's past in this Bagua deduction.

The tens of thousands of years of journey from ignorance to civilization; we also see the future of Human Race.

The road leading to Daxing is full of variables and choices. Every fork in the road needs to be faced and borne by Human Race himself.

I don't know how many days and nights passed before Fuxi slowly opened his eyes.

Bagua Phantom disappeared silently behind him, and the nine coiled golden dragons on Kongtong Seal were reflected in his eyes. His eyes were deeper and clearer than a few days ago.

He didn't say anything about Three Ancestors's profound and profound Great Dao insights. He just stood up, picked up Bamboo Slips again, and continued to look through the number of newborns in each tribe.

Just when he turned to one of the pages, his fingers paused slightly.

It was a newly born baby boy from a tribe named "Xuanyuan". There was a vision in the sky when he was born, and there was a faint sound of dragon roaring in the clouds.

Fuxi looked at that name and his eyes stayed on Bamboo Slips for a long time.

Then he closed Bamboo Slips and continued to deal with the next task. His face still had that calm expression, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then Fuxi decided that he was going to the depths of Chaos, to the Wa Huang Palace, to borrow something from his sister.

That thing was the Human Path Supreme Treasures used by Nuwa when he attained enlightenment. It was the token of marriage given by Great Dao when she and Dijun Heavenly Marriage.

If you want to sort out Human Race Fortune according to the principles of human ethics, you must have this thing.

Fuxi explained a few words to Three Ancestors and then set off on the road to Chaos.

He set out from under Mount Sumeru, passed through Nine Heavens Astral Wind, penetrated the Primordial Wilderness barrier, and entered the boundless gray Chaos void.

Chaos Qi automatically retreated around him.

Mid-Quasi-Saint's cultivation level is not as calm as Hunyuan's in Chaos.

But he has the way of Bagua, deducing good and bad luck, avoiding reality and avoiding reality. Neither the turbulence in Chaos nor Law Fragments can really touch the corner of his clothes.

Wa Huang Palace's green light of creation is far away in the depths of Chaos, and Fuxi steps onto the square held up by the auspicious clouds of creation.

Nuwa is already waiting for him in front of the hall. The huge statue of Nuwa behind him stands quietly among Creation Light. The Nine Heavens Breath Soil held in his hand has a warm luster.

"Brother is not at Ancestral Land to take care of Human Race, how come he has time to come to Chaos to find my little sister?"

Nuwa introduced him into the palace and cooked a pot of Enlightenment Tea with his own hands. The fragrance of tea lingered in Creation Power's palace.

Fuxi told her one by one what he had gained from studying in front of Kongtong Seal for several days.

The Bagua evolution of Human Race, the direction of Fortune, and the future of Human Race Daxing that he saw in the deduction.

He spoke plainly, but Nuwa listened with rapt attention. When he said that Human Race Fortune was like an overflowing pond lacking a river channel to guide him, Nuwa nodded slightly.

When he said that he needed a piece of Human Path Supreme Treasures to determine human ethics, Nuwa already understood his intention.

"Red Embroidered Ball."

She whispered the name, raised her right hand slightly, and a red hydrangea flew out of her sleeve.

The hydrangea was no more than the size of a palm, and its entire body was woven with unknown red silk threads.

Every silk thread is flowing with the unique warm luster of Human Dao Fortune, and the Yin-Yang double fish is slowly rotating head to tail in the center of the ball.

That is the Great Dao mark left by the fusion of Taiyin Sun Origin Essence during Heavenly Marriage, and it is the embodiment of Human Path Marriage Fate Law.

Red Embroidered Ball is Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure. Although it is not good at killing, it carries the core marriage and ethical laws of Human Dao Fortune.

Back then, Nuwa used this treasure to witness the marriage Dijun Heavenly Marriage, Great Dao lowered Merit, and Red Embroidered Ball was deeply tied to Human Dao Fortune.

Now Fuxi needs to sort out Human Race Fortune based on the principles of human ethics. Red Embroidered Ball is indeed the most suitable treasure.

"Brother, take it."

Nuwa pushed Red Embroidered Ball gently, and the red hydrangea flew into Fuxi's hands.

"This hydrangea is just a decoration here for my little sister. If it can help my brother and Human Race, it is the best destination for it.

But brother, please remember, Red Embroidered Ball determines human relations, it is the hearts of the people, not the shackles.

Human Race's marriage should be based on mutual love. It cannot be forced, it cannot be bought or sold, and it cannot be treated as goods.

This is my only request as Holy Mother of the Human Race."

Fuxi solemnly took Red Embroidered Ball and bowed deeply to his sister without saying any words of gratitude.

There is no need for politeness between siblings, but when he turned to leave, Nuwa suddenly stopped him.

"Brother," her voice was a little softer than before, "Thank you for your hard work on Human Race."

Fuxi did not look back, but nodded slightly, then stepped out of the Wa Huang Palace and flew in the direction of Primordial Wilderness.

Nuwa watched his figure disappear into the depths of Chaos and sighed lightly.

Turning around and sitting back on Creation Meditation Cushion, his fingertips touched the place where Red Embroidered Ball once floated, and a trace of reluctance flashed in those clear eyes.

It's not that I don't want to let go of the treasure, but I don't want to let go of the old days of brother and sister.

When Fuxi returned to Ancestral Land, he did not disturb too many people. He only called Three Ancestors to the altar and placed Red Embroidered Ball next to Kongtong Seal.

One seal and one ball, one gold and one red, the two pieces of Human Path Supreme Treasures each emit a warm light on the altar. With the resonance of the Fortune, even the air of the entire Ancestral Land becomes calm and solemn.

"From now on, all unmarried men and women of Human Race shall sign a marriage contract in front of Red Embroidered Ball."

Fuxi gently picked up Red Embroidered Ball and told Three Ancestors his plan.

It is not only about making a marriage contract, but also dividing tribes, deciding on surnames, and different marriages.

Human Race originally only had the name of a tribe. The marriages between the tribes were chaotic and the blood lineage could not be traced.

Fuxi has deduced a complete surname pedigree using the method of Bagua within a few days of understanding Kongtong Seal.

The original tribes of Human Race were re-divided into nine tribes based on region and bloodline.

Each tribe was given a surname.

Feng, Jiang, Ji, Yao, Si, Gui, Gui, Ying, Ji.

The nine major surnames are divided into clans, and people with the same surname cannot marry or communicate with each other to prevent bloodline confusion.

After listening to Fuxi's plan, Three Ancestors was silent for a moment, and then at the same time knelt down and saluted Fuxi.

Suiren Shi is holding Kongtong Seal, Youchao Shi is holding Red Embroidered Ball, and Ziyi Shi is holding a roll of newly woven linen in his hands.

The linen cloth will be used to record the first official genealogy of the surname Human Race.

They have followed Nuwa and Fuxi for tens of thousands of years and know well what the establishment of the foundation of this Human Race civilization means.

For tens of thousands of years, Human Race has had methods of cultivation and writing skills, but it has always lacked a complete set of etiquette and law systems to regulate the operation of society.

Now Fuxi uses Bagua to deduce the genealogy of surnames and uses Red Embroidered Ball to determine marriage ethics. This is forging the bones of civilization for Human Race.

Fuxi helped Three Ancestors up one by one.

Then a pair of unmarried young men and women were selected from each of the nine major tribes, a total of nine pairs and eighteen people, ranging in age from eighteen to thirty years old. They are all ordinary tribesmen with good conduct, hardworking and kind-hearted people.

Some of them come from the Huaxu Tribe where Fuxi is.

Some come from the Suihuo Tribe where Suiren Shi is located, some come from the distant shores of the East Sea, and some come from the border areas where witches and people live together.

The nine newlyweds were brought to the Ancestral Land altar and knelt under Kongtong Seal and Red Embroidered Ball.

Facing Three Ancestors and Fuxi, and facing countless tribesmen who came after hearing the news, there was not only nervousness on their faces, but also a kind of solemnity and glory from the heart.

They may not understand what "human ethics" is and what "Human Dao Fortune" is.

But they know that from today on, Human Race's marriage will no longer be just a union of two people, but a contract witnessed by heaven and earth, blessed by the Virgin, and recognized by the treasure.

This contract elevates the relationship between people from an ignorant primitive state to an orderly social system.

This is what Human Marriage is all about.

Fuxi stood in front of nine couples holding Red Embroidered Ball, his voice was not loud but it spread throughout the whole house Ancestral Land.

It reached the ears of every clan member present and penetrated the rolling hills and fields around Ancestral Land.

It even penetrated the layers of Primordial Wilderness's barriers, causing a certain Sage far away from Underworld to raise his head slightly.

"Great Dao is above, Human Path will learn from it.

Today there is Fuxi, announcing to Great Dao on behalf of Human Race.

From now on, Human Race will be made by Human Marriage.

The male is Qian and the female is Kun. The two surnames make a good marriage, Yin-Yang.

Marriage is not an affair or a transaction, but a great gift of human relations between two people who are in love and have the same surname.

People with the same surname will not get married, people with the same surname will not be able to communicate with each other, and the marriage contract is established and will never be broken.

The one above inherits the destiny of heaven, the one below responds to the people's hearts, and the middle is in harmony with human relations. Red Embroidered Ball is the proof, and Kongtong Seal is the proof!"

Red Embroidered Ball suddenly burst into extremely bright red light in his palm.

The light was brighter and warmer than ever before, like a red sun rising in the center of Ancestral Land.

The red light and the golden light of Kongtong Seal complement each other on the altar. The two pieces of Human Path Supreme Treasures and Fortune blend with each other and weave into a web of laws covering the entire Ancestral Land in the void.

The nine newlyweds saluted to heaven and earth, to the statue of the Virgin, and to Three Ancestors in this red-gold intertwined light, when the last bow fell.

Marriage Fate Law on Red Embroidered Ball and Human Race Fortune on Kongtong Seal simultaneously emitted a long resonance, and a Human Dao Fortune light beam that was more majestic than when Kongtong Seal was born rose from Ancestral Land into the sky.

The light pillar is no longer a single golden color, but intertwined with red gold.

Red is the light of marriage and human relations, and gold is the light of Fortune prosperity.

Two colors of red and gold spiraled up in the light pillar, penetrating the dome of the Ancestral Land altar.

It penetrated Nine Heavens Astral Wind, penetrated the Primordial Wilderness sky, and even penetrated the Chaos boundary.

Let Nuwa, who is far away in Chaos deep in the Wa Huang Palace, also feel the warm and vast Human Dao Fortune fluctuations.

She opened her eyes, and her fingertips gently brushed the place where Red Embroidered Ball once floated.

A smile of extreme relief appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there were faint tears in his eyes.

She felt the Fortune feedback on Red Embroidered Ball when Human Marriage Law was officially established.

She also felt her brother's aura, Human Race's progress, and the thing that made her most gratified.

Her children have really grown up and begun to establish their own civilized order.
